My friend who grew up in Northern VA raves about HawaU as his favorite Hawaiian spot. To be fair,…read morethere aren't many options, so there's not really any competition. I added this casual spot to my list a couple months ago, but didn't have concrete plans to check it out. Driving to Manassas and back on I-66 from where I live would cost half of my brain cells and all my patience. However, a few friends and I drove out to Shenandoah this past Friday evening, and I made a convincing argument that HawaU would be on the way. By the time we arrived, we were all incredibly hungry and ready to wolf down anything edible. The ordering process was easy: we ordered and paid at the counter, grabbed a seat at one of the few tables, and waited ~10-15 minutes for the food (parts of it are made to order). LOCO MOCO (BOWL) - 9.99 The chipotle-sized bowl was topped with loco moco: white rice base topped with hamburger patty, fried egg, grilled pineapple slice, and a generous pour of beef & mushroom gravy, plus sides of fresh cabbage salad and mac salad. The gravy nostalgically reminded me of the ones I'd get from cafeteria-style school lunches -- thick, salty, slightly starchy, yet oddly comforting. The egg, hamburger patty, and rice were pretty standard, but the familiarity of the gravy tied the whole dish together nicely. Both salads were good -- the cabbage was more light and refreshing, while the mac salad felt a bit heavy after all the loco moco. Since it's my first time eating loco moco, I can't say how it compares to others. However, I found HawaU's incredibly comforting and hearty. It really hit the spot for me, and I ate the whole bowl within 10 minutes. The loco moco is definitely their signature option and a must try. My friends who got the spicy pork bowl and udon thought both were just OK and not special.

My first visit to Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers for lunch…read more Ordered the 4 piece chicken finger meal - with a bottle of water. Chicken was tasty. It's served with a soufflé cup of their "Cane" sauce. It wasn't enough sauce for me - so I went up to ask for another container of sauce. They made me pay for it - not a lot of money - 30 cents - but it felt cheap. Fries were pretty good - they could have been a little hotter. Cole slaw was fine. The toast was meh - I could've done without the toast. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #RaisingCanesChickenFingers

We have been to this shake shack location several times and have had almost everything on their…read moremenu by this point. Our first visit was right after they opened and it was a horrible wait. I'm talking 45 minutes for 6 burgers, fries and shakes. My expectation was pretty low at that point. We live 30 minutes from the location and when we arrived home I was disappointed in how they wrapped their to go food. The burgers were half wrapped and I just knew it was going to be cold. My husband took a bite and I knew it was good. He's a chef and is pretty picky about his food. The burgers were perfectly cooked. They were seared beautifully and still moist in the center. Flavor was 10 out of 10. How was the food still warm? No clue, but whatever they did it definitely worked! Seriously, try the burgers! Pros - burgers are amazing. My son even likes the chicken. Cons - honestly the fries are not worth the price. For a place called shake shack, I didn't find the shakes that impressive. Pro tip - order online prior to arrival. You walk in and the bag of food is ready for you. Skip the folks trying to punch their order in on the kiosk!

No passport, no layover, just pure, unfiltered authenticity. The carne asada was so tender it apologized for being delicious. The papusas? I heard angels singing in Spanish and they were harmonizing with the sizzle from the grill. Service was FAST, kind, and genuinely happy to see us, which is rare in 2026. Also: there were adorable kids playing in the background and it made the whole place feel like someone's abuela's kitchen on a Sunday. I wanted to adopt the entire vibe and live there. If you've never had real Central American food, start here. If you HAVE, you'll cry. I did. Into my platanos. 10/10 would get emotionally compromised again.

I did recently order via the app on 8/13/25 to pickup at 10:15am on my way home from running errands. Sadly, there was only one gentleman working as it seems his counterpart either didn't show or called out for their shift. He was super kind and even though I waited about 10 mins upon arrival, he worked diligently and ensured my order was correct. I hope the customers after me, and the couple of others inside, treated him with kindness and patience!
